Begegnung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE FRE ITA ITA
Was doch heut Nacht ein Sturm gewesen,
Bis erst der Morgen sich geregt!
Wie hat der ungebetne Besen
Kamin und Gassen ausgefegt!

Da kommt ein Mädchen schon die Straßen,
Das halb verschüchtert um sich sieht;
Wie Rosen, die der Wind zerblasen,
So unstet ihr Gesichtchen glüht.

Ein schöner Bursch tritt ihr entgegen,
Er will ihr voll Entzücken nahn:
Wie sehn sich freudig und verlegen
Die ungewohnten Schelme an!

Er scheint zu fragen, ob das Liebchen
Die Zöpfe schon zurecht gemacht,
Die heute Nacht im offnen Stübchen 
Ein Sturm in Unordnung gebracht.

Der Bursche träumt noch von den Küßen,
Die ihm das süße Kind getauscht,
[Er steht,]1 von Anmut hingerissen, 
Derweil sie um die Ecke rauscht.
